Variety:

Don Imus' long-rumored return to the radio dial seems to be quickly coming to fruition.

Imus is in talks with Citadel Broadcasting, owner of ABC Radio, which syndicates talkshow hosts Sean Hannity and Tom Joyner.

The impending deal appears to rule out any potential move to satellite radio. Sirius Satellite Radio chief Mel Karmazin indicated over the summer that he, too, would be interested in doing a deal with Imus.

Watch carefully. Media Matters (A Hillary attack Dog) will be soon history when they lose their tax exempt status.

Hillary will have to do her own attacking without the help of George Soros, MMFA and Moveon.org.

It will happen before the election in 2008. And all this Phony soldier BS will be history.

Don Imus got bamboozled by the left for three little words he uttered. If our nation enters into a time where every word is judged by a word censor then none of us is safe. Someday you will utter a word that will be “unapproved.” The First Amendment will die.

We're waiting for you Don. Can't wait to hear your take on all the double crossing bastards who screwed you.

Don Imus is the MAN!

For anyone to call Imus a bigot, you obviously never heard his show and only the Utube clip from one small joke. Don Imus is a good man and deserves to work and those of us who want to listen, will listen and if you don't want to, nobody is going to make you.

Come back soon, I-Man! Your loyal fans are waiting but getting impatient!

to bvp720- why do bigots wrap themselves up in lies and then exhibit moral outrage when they are called on it. you have been listening to o'reilly and hannity so long you actually believe the pap you spew. you probably think ann coulter is straight

Well Dax49,

I don't watch O'Reily but do believe he is fair to all sides. Hannity is a great American who supports our troops whether you like the War or not. Limbaugh is another who is Radio personality that is behind the troops, but doesn't take crap from Clinton, Kerry or Harry Reid supporters.

What you spew is nothing, blank, zero. What have you contributed to this discussion? Absolutely nothing.

I am not with the Bush campaign on Iraq, but I do support our armed forces. They are our first line of defense against terrorists.

You will see in November 2008 what happens to Clinton. She will die a slow and agonizing death. We don't need 12 years of Clinton's and Bush people. We need a new idea.

I can handle your comment. But we are talking now about Don Imus. Media Matters and Moveon.org will go down the tubes like all institutions that attack them that tell the truth. They are ignorant of what is the truth.

Hope you have a fine evening and great Friday.

Return of the bigot. That is what America is all about !!!

Don Imus is not a Bigot or a Racist. Your radio must have a problem. Want a racist? Listen to Sharpton. Want a Bigot? Listen Harry Reid of the U.S. Senate.

Good Grief you people are idiots.

Just goes to show how quickly the corporate media forgets about "diversity." At this rate, don't expect to see/hear any other African American leaders other than Sharpton or Jesse for about another 15 years.

You won't hear Sharpton after he serves his jail time for tax evasion. Jesse Jackson is not in the picture.

He is a lost sheep. Imus tells it like it is. And doesn't think lies should be stated on the air.

I've heard his shtick, and I hope he never returns. Just more right wing trash radio.

Don't listen... It's that simple. And right wing? Don't think so. He is fair to all politicians. Unlike the Main Stream Media.

Why don't you place your comments on Media Matters.

Imus is coming back on the air soon and it's gonna be huge, folks. And for those of you who never watched, now you will get the chance of a lifetime to tune in to the best show going. What an opportunity!! He is a great talent and all the gang will be back with him. These people have been together so long you can just see them reading each other's minds. The show is great, absolutely great!

If you missed him before, don't miss him this time around!!

I see your a Hillary supporter. If you don't like listening to "Real Talk Radio" just turn the channel. It's that simple.

Remember: Radio and Television is sponsor driven. The more money they make, the more they promote their talent.

Try it; you might like it.

Don Imus, Rush Limbaugh, etc., etc. Same big mouth
hate mongers with different ideologies. They should all go away. Their not funny. At all. Just hateful. This is entertainment?

    Favorite    Flag as abusive Posted 06:54 PM on 10/04/2007

Actually I have always found Imus to be funny and entertaining. I used to enjoy Limbaugh but moved away after Bill Clinton was elected because his show became three hours of how much he hated Bill Clinton.

Also, I was a Hillary fan until I concluded that Hillary through her connection to Media Matters was instrumental in orchestrating the downfall of Imus. She has lost my vote and from the blogs I am reading she has lost the votes of many like minded folks.

I guess that we hear different Don Imus's.

Taken off the air by humorless drones. America - humor not included?

We take ourselves way too seriously.

Stay at home, you old coot. Noone gives a shit about your thoughts. Why anyone listened to your rants and benign comments while you wore your pathetic sombreros and GWBush Stetsons is beyond definition. Was that suppoosed to make you look hip-cool-c­owboy-manl­y-like Fred Thomson? Your a clown advertisers have hooked their beaks to for a long time.
Time to permanently pack it in and move to the country and stay put, you right wing corpro gasbag scumbag!!

You have a great name. "LUNKHEAD". It describes your attitude towards good Radio.

Might be a good idea to get a Cowboy hat. And pull it down over your eyes. You won't see the truth then.
